π Where Sound, Meditation , and Breath come in.
A lot of the time, the parts weβre working with formed before we ever had words for what was happening.
They donβt live in thought.
They live in the body, in breath, muscle tone, rhythm.. that constant sense of needing to stay alert.
Thatβs why sound can reach places talking never quite gets to.
When sustained tones and rhythm are present, the nervous system responds on its own.
Breath starts to slow without being told to.
The inner commentary loses some of its grip.
That effort to manage, analyse, or control whatβs happening begins to ease.
And thatβs often what we mean by the ego; the ongoing monitoring and judging thought patterns.
As that settles, the parts that have been working hard to protect donβt need to stay on guard in the same way.
Theyβre still thereβ¦they just get to rest π§
Sound has been used like this for thousands of years because the body responds before belief.
What science now describes as regulation and safety is something these traditions already understood.
Meditation helps stabilise that awareness.
Breath keeps it grounded in the body.
Nothing needs to be forced.
Layers peel back through resonance rather than effort.
Whatβs left is a sense of Centre you core self; an awareness that can hold experience without being pulled under by it.
And thatβs the ground real integration begins to grow from ππ
